"Why would you look anyplace other than here? Native or not, you're here because
Oregon speaks to you, your soul.Green, lush, naturally cool. A place full of thinkers, do-ers, designers.Great food, snappy music, big ideas.It's all right here."

Home of snappy clothes and accessories for women and children, too. Union Rose, like several indie stores, puts the focus on hand-made goods. The Oregon ethos -- oh, let's be fair, the idea reaches beyond state borders -- is about conscientious consumerism. Instead of buying mass-produced anonymously made stuff, they want to treasure a few good things and know where they came from and the story behind who made them.

As they call it "Stuff with soul."

Lucky for you, it's on sale. Last seasons goods are an additional 20 percent off mark-down prices. Jewelry 10 percent off during sale.
